What is the difference between HBASE and HDFS in Hadoop?

What is the actual difference, and when should be use the other when data needs to be stored?

Please read this post for a good explanation. But in general, HBASE runs on top of HDFS. HDFS is a distributed file system just like any other file system (Unix/Windows) and HBASE is like a database which reads and writes from that file system just like any other database (MySQL, MSSQL).
